This weeks highs are going to be near 100. Todays high on 89…what a cool front. So I took the opportunity to work on the bug today. In my last post I talked about replacing the entire luggage tray in the “trunk” up front. Come to find out no one makes a replacement panel for a 61, only 66 on, and the brackets and fuse panel are in different locations. If I am going to have to modify it to fit I might as well fix the one I have, so today was step 1 of that process, seal up the wheel well portion.
With the rust out of the way patch number 1 goes in
Next came the inside portion. Not the easiest piece to make.
Ground down some of the weld and sprayed some paint over it to keep the rust from coming back.
The paint in the trunk is a semi-gloss rustoleum, it looks horrid in the pictures, I have since sprayed over with my self etching primer which is flat.
I ordered a patch for the rear and some miscellaneous parts from my source in Canada, hopefully will be here by the end of the week, but more likely early the following week.
